Product Information

Full details

The KCT Double Wire Hose Clips (15-18mm, Pack of 10) are designed for users needing a secure and durable clamping solution for hoses and tubing. Their primary benefit is providing a firm, rust-resistant seal that maintains hose integrity, even in demanding outdoor or automotive applications. A minor caveat is that they are best suited for ribbed or corrugated hoses due to their double wire rim design. Key features include a robust steel construction with zinc plating, a double-ribbed wire rim for enhanced grip, and an easily adjustable screw mechanism for precise fitting.

FAQs

What material are the KCT Double Wire Hose Clips made from?

They are made from steel and plated with zinc for durability and rust resistance.

What is the specific size range for these clips?

These clips are designed to fit hoses with an outer diameter ranging from 15mm to 18mm.

Can these clips be used on smooth hoses?

While they can be used on smooth hoses, they are most effective on ribbed or corrugated hoses due to the double wire rim design which enhances grip.

How do I adjust the tightness of the clip?

You can adjust the tightness using a standard screwdriver or a ratchet tool by turning the screw bolt on the side of the clip.

Are these clips suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc plating provides rust and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor applications and all weather types.

What is the wire diameter of the clip?

The wire diameter of the clip is 1.5mm.

How many clips are in a pack?

Each pack contains 10 Double Wire Hose Clips.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not tighten sufficiently

Ensure the clip is placed on the correct hose size (15-18mm). Check that the screw mechanism is not stripped and turns freely. Verify the hose material is firm enough to accept clamping pressure.

Leak persists after installation

Check if the hose is ribbed or corrugated for optimal grip. Ensure the clip is evenly tightened around the entire circumference. Inspect the hose for cracks or damage. Consider using a larger or appropriately sized clip if the hose diameter is at the very edge of the range.

Screw is difficult to turn

Apply a small amount of penetrating lubricant to the screw threads. Ensure the screwdriver or tool is properly seated in the screw head to prevent stripping. Remove debris from the screw threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Select the appropriate clip for the hose size (15-18mm).
